George Anastos was a Greek-American speakeasy owner in Chicago's Greektown, loyal to Charlie Sheridan and, later, the Chicago Outfit.

Biography
George Anastos was born in Greece, and he emigrated to the United States, settling in Chicago, Illinois' Greektown neighborhood. Anastos became the owner of a speakeasy that gave kickbacks to Charlie Sheridan and the Irish Mob, but Johnny Torrio's Chicago Outfit decided to muscle in on his business in 1920. Al Capone threw him on the floor and kicked him in the face, breaking his jaw, and he told him that Johnny Torrio was now running Greektown. This led to a gang war, as Anastos decided to pay protection money to the Chicago Outfit afterwards.
